King James Version (KJV)

The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

Modern English

The roads to Zion mourn because no one comes to the feast; all her gates are desolate; her priests groan; her virgins are afflicted, and she herself suffers bitterly.
